@TheMedievalDrK COBOL always makes me think of kobolds.

We don't have a working printer at home, but I wanted a blank map of Greece and the Aegean so the 9 yr old could start working on his classical geography. #socialdistancelearning

So I drew a quick one. And now we're off to the races (as it were). #mapsathome

The 5 yr. old READ all of Sheep in a Jeep out loud to me last night. It was hard, and he did it, and it was the most glorious thing.

Oh man! I almost didn't notice that it's the equinox!

Growing up this was a family holiday of sorts, w/ presents from the fantastical EquineOx: half horse, half ox, all awesome. There was even a song (which I can't remember).

Blessing to you all from the Grandanimous EquineOx!

There is a fun "medieval" tale that shows up in a lot of guidebooks for Ely & the Fens explaining why there are so many eels in the region. The story tells how St. Dunstan got mad at a bunch of impious & rebellious local monks & turned them (and their families) into eels. Bam. /1

I really enjoy this 1694 map(s) by Thomas Burnett of the world without water. What a lumpy, bumpy globe!

In contribution to #SundayFishSketch, here is an eel pen that my son drew for me last year. He got me an eel pin for Christmas, but wanted to get a pen. He couldn't find one to match his vision, though...
